The Custodian (A gripping coastal crime thriller about secrets, family tensions, and a detective starting over)

When severed fingers are delivered in the post, DI Bolam is forced to reopen the dark back pages of the city where his dead wife grew up.

Newly appointed detective DI Bolam is making a fresh start in the east-coast hometown of his deceased, estranged wife, getting to know a family he has never learned how to like.

In this new setting, Bolam struggles to make connections, finding it easier to focus on the one thing he does better than almost anyone else: seeing those connections in the lives of others, and specifically in the lives of people affected by major crime.
